Thorens H3lp ??
I bought a beautiful Thorens TD-166 Mk 2 tonight,,,,,,really nice shape, EXCEPT,,, it is missing the anti-skate weight. (see borrowed pix)
Q: where can these be obtained ?? If too much trouble, I assume one could be made......anyone know length of line and weight to attach ???
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
It's going to be difficult to find the right weight. I don't know how much it should weigh. I suggest to make one from a little nut and some fishing line. You will need to get a blank record with no grooves. The Shure audio obstacle course is one example. Then you can use that to test to see if your weight is enough, and try different weights. Maybe start with a #4, then if that's not enough try a #6 and so on. When the weight is set so that the arm doesn't drift left or right on the blank record, it's set correctly.
Included belong 2 weights. 1 small 0.6 grams and a greater 1,4 grams . If big weight in the owner's manual is both weights = 2.0 grams meant.

Here's an anti-skate weight for a Pro-Ject tt, from the Needle Doctor. You might be able to make it work:

Contact Thorens, they are still in buissiness. Thats what I would do.

Hey Seadood, is that an Infinity black Widow Tonearm? GREAT ARM DOOD, GREAT.
Put a Clearaudio Woodbody, or a GRADO reference Platinum Woodbody on that MF, and SHE WILL SING TO YOU!
